Why would a government give people up to five years in prison for selling a satellite dish?

Cuba is jailing people for selling Starlink antennas. Brazil just gave an 80-year-old socialist a fourth term. Israel went to the polls in a vote that is really a referendum on one man.

Yaron Brook sorts out what it all means. In Israel, Yaron has argued that Benjamin Netanyahu himself is the only thing blocking a secular, center-right government without the ultra-Orthodox parties or Ben-Gvir. In Brazil, Lula da Silva came back to win 51.8% to 48.2%. He is the first president since 1985 to win after losing the first round, and Flávio Bolsonaro still refuses to concede.

Anthropic's IPO filing shows $16.3 billion in revenue and an $80.7 billion loss over six months. The filing also warns that AI could pose "existential risks," while the Pentagon brands the company a "supply chain risk." The episode covers Starlink, Cuba, and why a communist regime fears an internet connection more than a protest. It ends with this week's human achievements.

The Yaron Brook Show judges the news by one standard: reason, individual rights, and capitalism. No tribe gets a pass. Subscribe and join the live Q&A.
